Noisy Running Kids In Upstairs Apartment

Just simple . Get a tennis ball and do the reverse. Throw and hit the wall. Keep on hitting them as if you are running. Thats it they will stop .If then it cont best call cops saying that people above you can hear voices ,screams may be a domestic volilence. They might be cautioned after than

 

you can make horse come to pond but you cant make it to drink. You want to but think f them they cant control kids and if kids dont listen to them. Its out of there hands until they say see if you guys make sounds u will have ball hitting sounds coming. That way u guys can make peace. Beilev me we had a indian couple asked them, pleaded them , begged them because we would have just 4hrs of sleep and the kid was running like crazy. After that we tried this and boom never heard the noise after couple of tries

 

Sorry! this is a bad situation you are in....I know kids cannot be leashed.. I think you can tell them to stop at a certain time like after 10 pm to morning 8 am...but other than that, you cannot ask kids not to play in their own home! can you? maybe try to call them for tea and tell them to ask their kids to play outside in park etc in the evenings, that way, the kids will be tired late evenings....good luck

do you work? are you feeling it more because you stay at home due to holidays, kids would also be going to school soon...

 

Oops, my kids do the same. I have done everything possible under the sun to make them stop running from room to room but they still do it.

So we called the downstairs people home and apologised about this. Turned out that they themselves had three kids and that old aunty (the mil of the house) was telling me to stop scolding the kids for this and that kids will always be kids and to let them run around to their hearts content!

 

It's probably those creaky wooden floors! Ugh.

When you make requests of an apartment leasing/management company, always do it in writing & keep copies. Do this a few more times. If the problem is not resolved and this still drives you crazy, you can then ask to (a) be moved to a different, quieter apartment in the same complex when one becomes available or (b) break the lease and move elsewhere since the leasing company did not meet its part of the contract. Of course, you have to keep in mind that you need to have the ability and determination to follow through on such 'threats'; plus there's a risk that, after a move, you might end up a neighbor to some metal-head!

If this is not an option, consider a noise-cancelling headset plugged in to good music or your favorite white noise. That is not a 24 x 7 solution, I agree, but it might bring some welcome relief!
